Amos 9:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ “Are you not as the sons of ^(A)Ethiopia to Me,
O sons of Israel?” declares the Lord.
“Have I not brought up Israel from the land of Egypt,
And the ^(B)Philistines from Caphtor and the ^(C)Arameans from ^(D)Kir?
⁸ “Behold, the ^(E)eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom,
And I will ^(F)destroy it from the face of the earth;
Nevertheless, I will ^(G)not totally destroy the house of Jacob,”
Declares the Lord.
⁹ “For behold, I am commanding,
And I will ^(H)shake the house of Israel among all nations
As grain is shaken in a sieve,
But not a ^[a]kernel will fall to the ground.
